I don't have any experience with most of the drugs you're taking, except for the fluid meds and the tramadol. I don't take anything for fluid anymore - since menopause it doesn't seem to be such a problem, as I mostly retained fluid around my periods. She may have wanted you to stop before the tests because it can deplete your potassium levels - might affect other things too.

I have been on Tramadol for two months, and I've done really well. Had to adjust the dosage from 50mg 3x to 100 mg 3x but now I'm doing really well. I also take mobic at night, and the Tramadol was added because the mobic wasn't doing much more than taking the edge off. Since adding the Tramadol I've felt much much better.

Hope you get this all worked out - the right meds can make all the difference!

I was just wondering if anyone else who is taking Savella has had any problems with irritability and aggression. I started noticing things awhile back but didn't think it was too bad, now I'm constantly yelling at everyone and am almost always pissed off about something. Prior to taking this med I was pretty laid back, stuff would annoy me but I got over it quickly. Now almost everything pisses...
